What does Full Throttle Always mean in the Full Throttle Always – World Fitness Community
Full Throttle Always means going full in, all out, and committing yourself. You could go Full Throttle Always to complete a task at work or shop till you drop to find that perfect gift. FTA is about completing a goal or movement towards a goal. That might take 2 hours, 20 years or more than a lifetime.
Next time you have gone all in, given it your best and feel like a champ, whether at work or play; flex one arm and stretch the other arm aimed high towards the sky and give the “Full Throttle Always Pose”
Before you can get anywhere you have to START!
Navy Seal Admiral William McRaven gave one of the greatest motivational speeches of all time.
“Every morning in SEAL training, my instructors who were at the time were all Vietnam veterans, would show up in my barracks room and the first thing they do is inspect my bed. If I did it right, the corners would be square, the covers would be pulled tight, the pillow centered just under the headboard and the extra blanket folded neatly at the foot of the rack. It was a simple task, mundane at best, but every morning we were required to make our bed to perfection.”
“It seemed a little ridiculous at the time, particularly in light of the fact that we were aspiring to be real warriors, tough battle-hardened SEALs. But the wisdom of this simple act has been proven to me many times over. If you made your bed every morning, you will have accomplished the first task of the day. It will give you a small sense of pride and it will encourage you to do another task and another and another. And by the end of the day, that one task completed will have turned into many tasks completed. Making your bed will also reinforce the fact that the little things in life matter.”
“If you can’t do the little things right, you’ll never be able to do the big things right. And if by chance have a miserable day, you will come home to a bed that is made, that you made. And a made bed gives you encouragement that tomorrow will be better. So if you want to change the world, start off by making your bed.”
Full Throttle Always is an approach to life.
FTA is an approach to life. If you want to learn something new, meet friends, or get healthier, move forward to make that Decision and Start. There may be setbacks, frustration and mistakes but you know what comes next; the part commitment plays. Moving through the pain is a learned skill. Each time you choose to keep going, you build that circuit in the brain and reinforce that behavior. You may not succeed exactly as you hoped, but an FTA person is not a quitter but someone who Starts and Keeps On.
